About the author (2000)

The credentials that authorize that we select Mercedes Christian?s Bedtime stories are based without doubt in the intense 72 year?s life that she face with responsibility and determination. Also in her 2 children, 8 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and in what she define as the most important: to have Jesus in her heart now for twenty long and productive years. Even though she is from Colombia, Mercedes lives in the United States since more that 40 years, between Washington, New York, Maryland, Chicago and Miami. She studied Journalism in Colombia and Psychology in the University of Columbia, NY. In her walk by the world, she has been working as actress. Theater manager, script writer, cinema director and producer? until she found the Lord and left everything to dedicate herself to the Christian ministry to help the family where she has as fundamental activity the prevention and solution of the domestic violence. Bedtime Stories, between other television projects and manuscript that Mercedes has, is the first literacy work dedicated to the children. She used to improvise bedtime histories for her grandchildren and ?they were very happy?, Mercedes says. They used to come at bedtime ?Grandma, tell us a story!? One day the Lord told her clearly: ?Write 20 stories for children? and thanks God, she did so.
